Is there a command in cygwin terminal that when it's executed, the cygwin window is bring to the top/front? (To notify user that the job it's running is done)

First, iconify (ESC[2t) the window and then de-iconify (ESC[1t) it directly.
This brings the window in front of all other windows.

echo -e "\e[2t\e[1t"

Btw. I tested first with ESC[5t (Raise the xterm window to the front of the stacking order)
But this doesn't work as expected, as it only brings the window to the front of all mintty windows.
